ALABAMA's LAWYERS.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December 15.-The
State Bar association met here yesterday, with
a large attendance. Judge John +. Dillon, Of
New York, delivered the annual address,
which was received with enthusiastic APP
plause. He said that as this is the centennial
year Of the adoption of the federal constitu-
ton, he had selected as his subject "a Cen
fury Of American Law" Within a century, i'm
prisonment for debt has been abolished in both
Great Britain and America, and in this legis-
laton America has led the way. BY way OF
contrast, he alluded to the modern liberal ex-
emption and homestead laws of several states
and of the national government. Under the
benefcent operation Of the latter act, more
than 100,000,000 acres Of land had been enter
ed by $4,000 heads of families. He next adj
vertad TO the great aud beneficial changes
ma within the last fifty years in respect Of
the lights Of married women. The principle
Of the American married women's protective
acts, was in 1870 and in 1882, adopted
by the English parliament, Referring TO
the criminal laws of England 100 years ago,
he showed that at that time near two hundred
Offenscs were capital felOnies and that the laws
were otherwise oppressive and severe. They
have been gradually ameliorated, so that at
this time only four o8enses are ,capitally pun
ishable in England and only two
in this country. The growth Of
corporations, and Of corporate litigation, was
dwelt upon at length, aud statistics given
showing that nearly half Of the modern report
ed cases involve corporation law. He appealed
TO the young men to take up this great work,
and concluded by saying;
Mayhap some young man hears me today, gifted
beyond the common lot, with an eye cOuched TO
that wider and higher sweep that VIII take in all
constructive possibilities Of the rich and scattered
materials Of our laws, ana DO % fortunate as 10
leave upon massive, iInparting, ever advancing but
imperishable structure Of our jurisprudence some
visible imprint, some epbodIed memorial Of his
genius, eS wei as OF his lebors.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from practice, hav
ing had placed in his hands by an East India
missionary the formula of q simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of
consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma and
all throat and lung affections, also a positive
and radical cure for nervous debility and all
nervous complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows Actuated by this motive
and desire to relieve human suffering, will
send free Of charge to all who desire it, this
recipe, in German, French or English, with
full directions for preparing and using. Sent

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.

COLUMBIA, S. c., December 12-TSpecial I
In the senate tonight, the bill which was
passed by the house q few DAYS ago to estah-
lish home for disabled soldiers and sailors of
the confederate army and navy, was killed
without debate and without division by the
adoption of the adverse report of the literary
committee. This action is due to the fact that
the senate has passed bill granting pension
of five dollars per month to all disabled indi-
gent confederate soldiers, which bill is now
pending in the house.
1t is probable, therefore, that the house will
compromise the matter by passing the senate
pension bill
COLUMBIA, S. c., December 14.-TSpecial. l.
In the house today the phosphate monopoly
bill, which proposed to grant to five companies
the exclusive right to mine the vast phosphate
deposits belonging to the state, and to freeze
out the smaller concerns and private individ-
uals engaged in the business, was killed by q
vote which buries it beyond the hope of resur-
rection.
In the house the bill granting pension of
five dollars per month to disabled confeder-
ate soldiers and sailors, passed its final read
ing.
The groaetr part of the day was spent in the
consideration of the general appropriation bill
providing for the expenses of the state govern
ment for the next year. The total amount APP
propriated is $S07 ,205. The economists, as
usual, made fierce onslaught upon the appro-
priations of S53, 700 for the university; $4,000
for the militia and various other items, but
were unsuccessful, and the bill passed its second
reading substantially as reported by the ways
and means committee.
COLUMBIA, S. c., December 17.-[Special /
In the senate today the house bill to provide
for the submission to the qualified electors of
Abbeville, Greenville and Oconee counties the
question of 'license" or mo license' in the
cities, towns and villages in said counties, was
amended, after a hard fight, by eliminating
Oconee from the measure, which then passed
its second reading.
In the house the bill to raise supplies and
make appropriations for the ensuing fiscal
year passed its second reading. 1t fixes the
tax levy for the state at five and half
mills. A concurrent resolution was
adopted by both houses extending
the time for paying the state, county and
special taxes, without penalty. which expired
on the 18th instant, to January LIST next.
An extraordinary bill. amendatory of the
criminal law, has passed the house and will
probably pass the senate 1t amends the law
of peremptory challenges, so that in capital
cases the accused isallowed only ten challenges
and the state is allowed five.

IT'S An Ill Wind

That brings with it gusts of rain from the
northeast. When the wind blows from tina
quarter on a wet day, the rheumatic are apt to
suffer, even if seated by their cain comfortable
ingle" in q cosy arm chair. A few wineglass-
fulls of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters--most
genial and comforting of specifcs-will afford
them unspeakable relief. There is ample
proof on record of its efficacy in this disease
more particularly if used for its relief at the
tion liver complaint, and a lack of tone in the
kidneys and bladder, should also be treated
with this useful family medicine of botanic
origin. Appetite improves, refreshing slumber
once more visits the weary eyelids of the ner-
vous, and the circulation is enriched and &C
celebrated in consequence of its invigorating
and regulating action. Use it as protector
after getting wet.

extra appropriations amounting TO S15000O

OIL tennessee certificates, and now only owes
SSi5,000 in floating debt, which will unGoubt-
edly be- paid by March ]. Less than $4,000
bank of Tennessee certificates remain to be
taken up. After these certificates shall have
been taken up, the present rate of taxation

due January first, will be extinguishod by
March.
1--WE are satisfied" said Treasurer Thomas,
that we will be able tosdo this. Altogether 1
think that there is good outlook for the state
and its finances. The tax aggregate for the
year 1887 shows an increased property assess
ment of 100000. which is the first year in
several that has shown an increase, and it is
probable that for next year there will be
much larger increased assessment
WHY is IT?
The statement of Treasurer Thomas that the
increase for this year was only $14, 000,-
600 and that this was the first
year in several which showed an
increase at all sounded strange. From Chat
tanooga alone had gone forth rosy reports of
the organization of stock companies which
diSdained TO look at less than million dollars
These reports have been circulated over the
union Tor four years past, and allowing for the
enthusiasm of boomers, still it looks as if there
should have been bottom enough left upon
which to base an increase each year. in the
taxable values of the state, for much more
than even $14 100000. To the task of unrave-
ing this problem l will have to address my
next, in the meantime expressing faith that
there is solution which will explain ALL

"Papa what is confagration
ut is big fire, my son.
"And what do they call a little fre?'
"There is no special name for a little fire. Oh,
they sometimes call it an incipient fire and-lets
see-well, 1t is sometimes called an inconsiderable
fire. Why?''
"Well, l see your coat tail is on fire and was
wondering whether it was q con1ag1ation or an in
cipient fire."
In a few minutes the young man had reason to
think it was conhagration.

of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popula.
ton has this disease in some of
its varied forms.
It has been found that physi
clans have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC.,
etc, but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Elk

properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care should be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.

Mr., John G. Hemptinstall, Of
Chulahrmee, Cleburn county,
Ala, writes: "My wife has been
so much benefited by Shaker
Extract of Roots or Seigel's
Syrup that she says she would
rather be without part of her
food than without the medicine.
It has done her more good than
the doctors and all other medi-
cine put together. I would ride
twenty miles to get it into the
hands of any sufferer if he can
get it no other way. I believe
it will soon sell in this State
better than cotton"
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Warner,
Ripley county, Mo-, writes that
she had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.

Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for tour years and
never knew it to fail.
